If global security is so important to the FBI, then why were US businesses/individuals openly allowed to donate money to the IRA?
For decades the UK was under constant terrorist threat and attacks from this terrorist organisation.
As this was largely funded from US contributions I find this latest initiative highly offensive.
Fund raisers actively canvassed public venues to promote and raise cash for this 'cause' in the US.
Where was the US offer of information when we needed it?
No system is secure, granted. Even the most isolated standalone machine has a weak component: The soft squidgy organic component behind the keyboard.
Giving said information to a nation that as already stated, has nowhere near the privacy/data protection laws of the originating nation, is a recipe for disaster.
Par for the course for two nations who consistently screw-up, time after time.
What would happen if UK/US relations broke down under the next administration of either nation? The UK was not an overseas province under US jurisdiction the last time I checked..
